Blue sword boosts

[Fdm1407]

Can anyone explain to me why there are buildings giving blue attack and/or defense boosts to GBG, i thought red swords and red shields were for GBG and blue attack and defense boosts are gor GE5 and city defense??

I also can't find blue boosts behind GBG in city hall overview

Yeah, it seems to be intended to have 4 "different" boosts for GE and GbG together. With QI it could become 6. It'll be to seen if it's worth it. They've at least stated they wanna get rid of generalists. Players who have massive boosts and successful in any feature. They want to undo the1 solution fits all situation like we now have.
I wouldn't be too surprised if they'll eventually lean into PvP-arena. Polishing it in some way further. To enable them to create another set of 2 "different" boosts. Although this last part is just purely speculation based off current announced intentions and developments.
